At this point in reasoning about the True State of Life, many would naturally ask, “What originated this mistaken premise and viewpoint?” Was it some nefarious, “real”, separated mind with a well thought out and sinister goal to overthrow the Only Good, Celestial Empire in Existence into an aftermath of chaos, death and destruction? Or, was it simply the result of a childish mistake that had natural consequences as all mistakes do that we have learned while growing up in one way or another?
As a metaphor, could not have the origin of the dream of a separated and what-seems-to-be Big Bang material universe, your human existence and every-think else in it, been caused by something as innocent and simple as a curious child sticking its finger into an empty but energized light socket? The consequences of that mistaken curiosity and choice would certainly “light up” that child’s painful and fearful new world (that would be the dream we call human birth-death existence in this metaphor) but the light socket and the electrical utility providing the power did not have a sinister plan to hurt, torture nor kill the child. In fact, the utility has no idea this has even occurred! The child utilizing its free will simply violated the harmony and benefits of electrical appliances! It was all simply a correctable mistake as is the premise of identifying oneself as a separate bodily being and mind without knowing the logical consequences of such an act.
Lesson learned - Don’t stick your finger in an energized light socket nor believe the false premise that you are a separate autonomous mind living as a body in a material world because both are errors, and both do not end on a happy, joyful note! (...except that both are false premises we waken from and see The Light and THAT is a happy joyful note indeed!!
Or, stated another way, if your mind erringly believes the premise that your body and things are real separated substances with feelings and causes unto themselves to be enjoyed and/or feared and defended against, then logically this body will also be subjected to false pleasures, pain, turmoil, insecurity, chaos, death, etc. Not because you were tempted, judged and punished by some other powers like many misunderstood religions would fearfully preach, but simply because you violated The True Identity and Harmonious Creativity of Life that is Love, Intelligence, Perfection and Peace just like the child mistakenly sticking its finger in the light socket above!
No dark guilt, no future punishment, no death, no birth, no light socket, utility, Satan or God out to “get you” but just a simple childish mistake that temporarily violated intelligent harmony and is now understood and forgotten. Actually quite funny when seen this way!

“Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being;” - Apostle Paul at Athens - Acts 17:22, 23,27,28
“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” - Apostle Paul at Thessalonia - 2 Thessalonians 2:4,11 (Italics mine)
“The light of the body is the eye (I): if therefore thine eye (I) be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye (I) be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” - Jesus - Matthew 6:22,23
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” - John 1:1-5
“Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
(Human) Life is but a dream” - Eliphalet Oram Lyte 1852
